The Premier League cash boost again underlines the financial importance of the club ensuring a swift return to the top flight.

Boro remain in the hunt for a place back in the top division following a 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest on Saturday, which saw the side remain in the one of the play-off positions.

Promotion to the Premier League could ultimately be worth more than £200m and again provide a massive boost to the club’s finances.

In the accounts, Boro chairman Steve Gibson says the club’s biggest financial risk is “failing to perform competitively in the league in which it competes”.

The accounts also again reveal the importance of the owner’s financial support.

They state: “The going concern basis of the company depends on the support from the Gibson O’Neill Company Limited, the ultimate parent undertaking, who will continue to provide that support, if required, to the company for the foreseeable future.
